This park is phenomenal. I must have told my husband and kids that I loved this park like 20 times. I think it's seriously the best playground I've been to. By the way, I noticed some photos here from a few years ago showing a much more simple playground. It looks like they gave it a full makeover and thank goodness for that! KIDS' EQUIPMENT: The play equipment is divided into zones -- one for smaller toddlers and one for older kids. They're both really great. I was particularly impressed with the equipment for younger kids because that's usually the most lacking at many playgrounds. The main playscape had the usual steps and slide but what made it stand out was all the little interactive add-ons. The designers used every opportunity (railing or wall) to add some sort of interactive element like a sliding ring or moving shape. In addition to the main playscape, there was a little igloo (watch out: a wasp was building a nest inside -- I'm going to try to email the district about it), a see saw, a little spinning chair, and more. Oh and there's a canopy over the main playscape which is great. The larger playscape for older kids was excellent as well. There were so many opportunities for climbing -- the net was super cool. Just like the smaller playscape, this was so rich in interactive elements. PARENTS' EQUIPMENT: This playground seriously has fitness machines. I was floored. Not just like a bar for pull-ups. Three machines. This is brilliant. So you can let your (presumably older, requiring less supervision) kids play while you exercise. TRAIL: There is a short trail that continues from the playground. We didn't walk it but instead crossed the street to take the Brightwater Trail. This passes through the Butterfly Garden and continues to Hairy Man Road. It's a short walk but very pleasant. The butterfly garden is small but lovely. PARKING: Small (but sufficient) lot with some shaded spots.

There's also an exercise area, swings and paved trails. This park is also monitored with security cameras. The trail itself runs behind many of the homes in the area and eventually leads into a larger green space where it turns into a circular gravel trail where you'll find some picnic tables and benches under the trees. Much attention has been paid to the grounds care and there's even a raised rest area with two benches. There are even some plant identification markers along the trail explaining the flora and fauna. The trail here does not connect up to any other trails. It just spits you out into a neighborhood where you can walk or bike to two neighboring parks several blocks away called Cheatham and Friendly Oaks Park. This large patch of green space and play area are a great asset to the local community as the 10 photos below attest.

Lack of use appears to result in lack of maintenance: active wasp nest (dad got stung), lots of animal poop, and an abandoned tree branch. If visiting, inspect facility carefully prior to play. This park has a decent playscape with canopy cover. It's pretty simple -- a couple climbing opportunities, a few slides, and a tunnel. However, there are two sections -- one for older kids and one for younger toddlers (2-year-olds). Always nice when they acknowledge the little ones. My biggest gripe about this park is that it's a secret. It's not visible from the street at all and completely encapsulated by housing. There are no signs notifying you of a nearby park. The address took us to a cul-de-sac which was initially confusing until we saw a paved path between homes. You take the path and you eventually find the park. I like parks that are in residential areas (no one wants cars whizzing past while kids play) but this is a bit much. I don't know the history of this park and whether it was unfortunately encased in a new development or something. But as a result, I feel like no one comes here. First of all, you have to read or hear about this park. Considering that there's a bit of a trek to get to the park and that your car isn't visible from the park -- that's disincentive. Maybe if the playscape was incredible then it'd be worthwhile. But it's pretty simple like I mentioned before. Personally, I can only envision visiting this park if I lived within walking distance and it was a matter of convenience. Anyway, due to its lack of use, it seems like the park was a bit run down. I found multiple problems while visiting. The first and most concerning was a completed paper wasp nest (with wasps circling around). It was under the younger toddler playscape so we moved both kids to the older kid one. We all climbed through the tunnel and when my husband followed us -- he got stung by a wasp. We immediately left and I notified the city. Just glad my kids weren't stung. There was also a lot of poop under the playscape -- saw like 3 separate piles. I don't know who is pooping under there (wild animal or negligent dog ownership or worse). Finally, there was a huge fallen tree branch (with lots of sharp branches) on the playground. It seemed like someone dragged it there (maybe hoping it would be removed by the city?). Ultimately, this park just feels a bit doomed due to its location.

They added an additional larger play structure over the summer, but there's no signs in the neighborhood and there is no paved path at the park to lead you to it. It is extremely far away from the street. There is also no parking lot so you will have to park in the dirt along Madrid Dr in order to not have your car hit - especially with the heavy traffic on that street during morning commutes, afternoon school pickup (McCoy Elementary is nearby), and evening work rush. There is also no bathroom, water fountain, or bbq grill. Anyway, at a minimum there should be a sign showing that it's a park/playground. Hopefully this review will help others so we can get some kids here!

Good playground equipment that includes a playscape for younger toddlers. No canopy though so scorching on a hot day. That being said, there are shady areas in the park (saw a few families having picnics). The adjacent creek is nice. There's a little trail alongside it. Turn left (from playground) and you can see the famous Round Rock (just under the bridge). Turn right and you pass a war memorial and soon make it to the spiral (a spiral walking ramp that apparently offers nice views of the creek). It was super hot so we skipped the spiral. The thing that bothered me about this park -- there are lots of blank rusted signs. Were they ever in use or were they never completed? I was just confused by their presence. On top of that, I would have liked to see some actual signs. There were a few by the entrance of the park noting the location of the Round Rock, spiral, etc. But if entering the trail from the playground, you don't see any of this info. There's no sign by the Round Rock about its history and no sign by the tree sculpture by the spiral (at least credit the artist). Large parking area.
